Mysteries of CD Text Explained
Summit Sound Inc. - Mysteries of CD Text explained: There are 2 types of “CD text”information currently in common usage: 1. CD Text : Actual CD Text is an extension of the Red Book Compact Disc specifications standard for audio CDs. It allows for storage of additional information (e.g. album name, song name, and artist) on a standards-compliant audio CD. The information is stored either in the lead- in area of the CD, where there is roughly five kilobytes of space available, or in the Subchannels R to W on the disc, which can store about 31 megabytes. These areas are not used by strict Red Book CDs. The text is stored in a format usable by the Interactive Text Trans - mission System (ITTS). ITTS is also used by Digital Audio Broadcasting or the MiniDisc. The specification was released in September 1996 and backed by Sony. Support for CD-Text is common, but not universal. Utilities or plug-ins exist to automatically rip CD-Text data, and insert it into CDDB or freedb. • Windows Media Player 10 and 11 with the WMPCDText plug-in support reading CD-Text. • iTunes 7 supports burning with CD Text. It is by default an unchecked option in the burning preferences - but requires a compatible burner that also supports CD text. • Toast on Mac OS X also has support for reading and writing CD-Text. • Nero for the PC can also read CD text New versions of i-Tunes (7 and up) may write CD text, but may not always read it (sometimes using a different - ie. -

Linux – Das Umfassende Handbuch 1.430 Seiten, Gebunden, Mit CD, 14
Know-howWissen, wie’s für geht. Kreative. Leseprobe In dieser Leseprobe erhalten Sie einen Einstieg in die Linux-Welt und erfahren, wie Sie Audio und Video unter Linux nutzen. Dar- über hinaus lernen Sie die Kommandozentrale kennen: die Shell. Außerdem können Sie einen Blick in das vollständige Inhalts- und Stichwortverzeichnis des Buches werfen. »Was ist Linux?« »Installationsgrundlagen« »Audio und Video« »Die Shell« »Software- und Paketverwaltung« Inhaltsverzeichnis Index Der Autor Leseprobe weiterempfehlen Michael Kofler Linux – Das umfassende Handbuch 1.430 Seiten, gebunden, mit CD, 14. Auflage 2015 49,90 Euro, ISBN 978-3-8362-3775-8 www.rheinwerk-verlag.de/3855 “buch” — 2015/11/5 — 21:54 — page 25 — #19 1 Kapitel 1 Was ist Linux? Um die einleitende Frage zu beantworten, erkläre ich in diesem Kapitel zuerst einige wichtige Begriffe, die im gesamten Buch immer wieder verwendet werden: Betriebs- system, Unix, Distribution, Kernel etc. Ein knapper Überblick über die Merkmale von Linux und die verfügbaren Programme macht deutlich, wie weit die Anwendungs- möglichkeiten von Linux reichen. Es folgt ein kurzer Ausflug in die Geschichte von Linux: Sie erfahren, wie Linux entstanden ist und auf welchen Komponenten es basiert. Von zentraler Bedeutung ist dabei natürlich die General Public License (kurz GPL), die angibt, unter welchen Bedingungen Linux weitergegeben werden darf. Erst die GPL macht Linux zu einem freien System, wobei »frei« mehr heißt als einfach »kostenlos«. 1.1 Einführung Linux ist ein Unix-ähnliches Betriebssystem. Der wichtigste Unterschied gegenüber historischen Unix-Systemen besteht darin, dass Linux zusammen mit dem vollstän- digen Quellcode frei kopiert werden darf. Ein Betriebssystem ist ein Bündel von Programmen, mit denen die grundlegend- Betriebssystem sten Funktionen eines Rechners realisiert werden: die Schnittstelle zwischen Mensch und Maschine (also konkret: die Verwaltung von Tastatur, Bildschirm etc.) und die Verwaltung der Systemressourcen (CPU-Zeit, Speicher etc.). -

Updating and Modernizing WICN's Music Library
Updating and Modernizing WICN's Music Library Updating and Modernizing WICN's Music Library An Interactive Qualifying Project Report Submitted to the faculty of the Worcester Polytechnic Institute In partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Degree of Bachelor of Science In Cooperation with Worcester-Inter Collegiate Network On May, 2017 By: Albert Nanabeka (ME) Jesse Kauffman (ME) Timothy Vander Hart (CS) Submitted to Worcester Polytechnic Institute: Professor Scott Barton, Advisor Worcester-Inter Collegiate Network: Mr. Tom Lucci, Sponsor 2 | P a g e Abstract The goal of the Modern Music Library IQP team is to help WICN to create, organize and diversify their digital music library to better serve their audience. Currently they have a library of about 30,000 Compact Discs (CD) that they want to convert to a new library system. In order to accomplish this task, we researched solutions that other music libraries and radios stations have used to transition from a physical storage medium to a computer-based system, we determined database systems that would accommodate WICN’s organizational needs, and we found external sources of music that would allow for WICN to expand their library. We made recommendations based on WICN’s needs for the best method to convert their library. 3 | P a g e Acknowledgements During our rich path to bring solutions to WICN problem, great minds help us to reach our goals. We would like to thank the following people from: Worcester Polytechnic Institute Professor Scott Barton for advising and strengthen our project, and each team member to his best WPI librarians Paige Neumann, Laura Robinson, Lori Steckervetz for providing internet resources to keep pushing our project forward WPI archivist and Digital Initiatives Librarian, Jessica Colati; and WPI Access and Outreach Archivist, Michael Kemezis for providing contacts, books, and authors to look for Worcester-Inter Collegiate Network General Manager Interim, Mr. -

Alphabet Soup Making Sense of the Stew of Digital Formats
Originally published in DRUM! Magazine, March 2009. Alphabet Soup Making sense of the stew of digital formats By Garrett Haines INTRO How do I obtain digital distribution? How do I get my songs titles to show up on computers when people play my CD? What do BDS, ISRC, AMG, CDDB, CD TEXT, ASCAP, BMI, EPK, and RIAA mean? How can I get my CD listed on iTunes? How do I get royalties when my songs are played on the radio? As a studio owner, I am constantly asked about these and other issues. Historically, record labels handled these technical items. But with the emergence of the Internet as a major conduit between musicians and fans we are starting to see more artists outside of the traditional big-label model. So, if you’re thinking about releasing your own material, or even starting your own micro label, the following provides some information about the various terms, codes, and organizations involved in contemporary music distribution. Additional resources and links are provided for those wishing to take a hands-on approach. For the purposes of this article, we will assume that you are the writers of both the music and the lyrics and have complete ownership over the material. Recording covers, sampling, and remixing involve legal discussions beyond the scope of this article. Finally, it’s important to mention that this piece is for informational purposes, and does not constitute legal advice. Readers are encouraged to consult a legal professional with specific questions regarding individual circumstances. BACKGROUND Since many of the things you’ll need to do can be completed while your CD is being made, a quick review of the recording process is in order. -
